Have you played the first FEAR? That game is pretty suspenseful and scary. The 2nd one is just a bit suspenseful so far, but kind of meh. The shooting matches are pretty blah for me. There's not a lot of gun recoil or difficulty with the AI. Lots of blood and gory scenes though that's for sure. It's very similar to FEAR because everything is once again inside of an office building, so the scenery is the same. With all the lights off in your room/home and headphones on, this game = win.
